Claims

A method of automatically managing panes relative to an application canvas in a user interface having a width,
Receiving a minimum width indication for the application canvas from the application;
Said persistent pane that is selected in the user interface before SL application comprising: receiving a requests you add duration, the selected persistent pane, open to one or more previous With a specific pane ,
And a said application canvas in order to ensure that it appears in at least the minimum width, to manage the display of sustained panes said previously opened sustained pane and before Symbol selection,
When the user interface does not have enough width to display both the previously opened persistent pane and the selected persistent pane in addition to the application canvas having at least the minimum width Converting at least one of the previously opened persistent panes into a temporary pane so as to free an area of the user interface occupied by at least one of the previously opened persistent panes; Placing the selected persistent pane within the released area of the user interface and maintaining the minimum width of the application canvas;
A computer-implemented method.

With the request is received to add a persistent panes said selected not persistent pane previously opened is displayed, the previously opened persistent panes and of the selected persistent pane Managing the display
Wherein the user interface, when no wide enough to display both the application canvas and the selected persistent pane having at least the minimum width, temporary pane the selected persistent pane The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying on a portion of the application canvas as.

The width of the application canvas does not change when displaying the temporary pane
The method of claim 2.

Hiding the selected persistent pane when the selected persistent pane loses focus
The method of claim 2 further comprising:

Wherein with the selected request to be added continuously panes are received, one of the previously opened persistent panes are displayed on the user interface, the previously opened persistent pane and the selected Managing the display of persistent panes
Receiving an indication from the application that the persistent pane associated with the application is a critical pane;
Determining that the previously opened persistent pane is the critical pane;
Automatic the user interface, the application canvas having at least the minimum width, when not wide enough to display the important persistent pane and the selected persistent pane, the importance persistent pane Closing automatically,
Displaying the selected pane as a persistent pane;
The method of claim 1, further comprising automatically reopening the automatically closed critical persistent pane when the selected persistent pane is closed.

With the request to add a persistent panes said selected is received, two or more previously opened persistent panes are displayed on the user interface, the previously opened persistent panes and the Managing the display of the selected persistent pane
When the user interface does not have sufficient width to display the application canvas having at least the minimum width, the previously opened persistent pane, and the selected persistent pane; The method of claim 1, further comprising replacing one of the opened persistent panes with the selected persistent pane.

Determining the priority of each of the previously opened persistent panes based on the order in which the previously opened persistent panes were opened;
The method of claim 6, further comprising:

An indication that the width of the user interface has changed while one or more previously opened persistent panes are displayed is received, the width of the user interface is reduced and the user interface is the application canvas and the previous does not have a wide enough to display the persistent panes held, the previously opened pane sustained and the selected persistent pane having at least a minimum width Can manage the display of
The method of claim 1, further comprising automatically closing a sufficient number of previously opened persistent panes to allow the application canvas to be displayed at least at the minimum width.

Receiving an indication that the width of the user interface has increased after automatically closing a previously opened persistent pane;
Automatic the user interface, when it has a width sufficient to display the application canvas and the automatically closed sustained pane having at least the minimum width, the sustained panes said closed automatically 9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising: reopening automatically.

When the user interface has a width sufficient to display both the application canvas having at least the minimum width, any previously opened persistent pane, and the selected persistent pane; The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying the selected persistent pane as a persistent pane on one side of the application canvas.

Displaying the selected persistent pane as a persistent pane reduces the width of the application canvas by the width of the selected persistent pane
The method of claim 10, further comprising:

The temporary pane remains intact until the user moves focus to an area outside the temporary pane
The method of claim 1.

A computer implemented system for automatically managing application panes in relation to an application canvas in a user interface,
